Research published in 2023 indicates that the kidneys, for example, can also regenerate to an extent. Stem cells in the kidney can form new kidney cells, but not to the same degree as in the liver.

Cells in the liver regenerate at a somewhat slower pace, Bergmann and his colleagues reported June 15 in the journal Cell Systems. ... If parts of us, like our skin, ...

In the study, researchers wanted to know what allowed cells to survive in one place instead of the other. To do this, they analyzed data from MetMap, a project at the Broad Institute, an independent ...

Cancer is said to metastasize when cells from the primary tumor break off and travel via the circulatory system to other parts of the body. "Colorectal cancer metastasizes to the liver because of ...

For colorectal cancer cells, the liver is the last stop. “They get caught in the liver’s capillary network,” Moor says. Costanza Borrelli, a doctoral student, and other members of Moor’s team have now ...
